The Best Spots to Sip During Dry January

Check out these local spots for zero-proof drinks so good, you won't miss the alcohol!

DRY JANUARY - that magical time of the year when we swap cocktails for mocktails and see how long we can survive social gatherings without a buzz. After a season of festive toasts and indulgent sips, swapping booze for mocktails feels like giving your body a well-deserved break. Although sometimes it feels less like self-care and more like a stress test. How does one have the willpower to say no to a margarita in Austin?

Whether you’re focusing on health, chasing new resolutions, or just curious about the zero-proof trend, this month is about embracing fresh starts. Let’s dive into the local mocktail scene in the Lake Travis area and see why Dry January is worth raising a (non-alcoholic) glass to.
